Northern California Baseball Association

The Northern California Baseball Association or NCBA was a baseball-only conference that existed from 1977 to 1984. It was made up of schools from the Big West Conference and West Coast Conference. In 1977, the Big West and West Coast realigned themselves for baseball-only into a north conference (NCBA) and south conference (SCBA). Throughout the eight years of NCBA/SCBA alignment, there were seven teams that competed in the NCBA. Either Fresno State or Santa Clara claimed the title all eight years.
